Keto Bufala Stuffed Filet Mignon and Panceta Meat Balls

Keto Bufala Stuffed Filet Mignon and Pancetta Meat Balls

This is a fun one to make as I love making a red sauce.

To make sure you get your fats for the day, smoky pancetta/bacon is the star of the show.

To get started, fry up some bacon and place aside.

Also get 4 cloves of garlic piled up and covered in the oven to get roasted.

SAUCE:

Now get the sauce going:

• I used onion powder instead of onions to keep the carbs lower today 
• Just get your tomatoes cut and in your said pan with EVO. Feel free to add 1/2 cup of dry wine if you are well enough under your 20 carbs for the day.
• Drain the bacon fat into the space pan.
• Chop the bacon into large pieces and put half in the sauce to simmer.

KETO BREADCRUMBS:

These help with the texture of the meatballs. You can make these in bulk and save in the refrigerator.

In a large bowl, mix:

• 2 cups of almond flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp baking power
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Knead the dough and spread out in a baking pan, about 1 cm thick.

Bake on 400F until crispy

Let cool and crush in a food processor. 

MEAT BALLS:

• In a large mixing bowl, add your ground beef
• Take the remaining bacon and finely chop. Then add to the bowl.
• Add 2 eggs
• Add 1 cup of the keto breadcrumbs 
• Season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil and garlic powder to taste
• Add 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• Add 1 tsp smoked paprika 

Forming Meatballs:

• Take a handful of the meat mixture and flatten in your hand.
• Add a 1x1 inch piece of bufala on top
• Fold the meat around the cheese and roll into a ball
• Repeat until all meat is used
• In a large pan, brown the meatballs on all sides and remove from heat

FINAL PREPARATION:

• In a medium Pyrex, add your sauce
• Peel the roasted garlic and add the 4 roasted cloves 
• Add the meatballs 
• Cook on 300F until cooked through
• Remove from oven and add more bufala on top of the meatballs 
• Place back in oven at 400F to brown the cheese 

Grate some pecorino on top and enjoy!

Hopefully the Keto Chicken Parmigiana recipe was a hit with your family.

So today we’re making a similar recipe with the same sauce, but making it a spicy pink sauce to pair with some spicy sautéed shrimp!

Think of this as a mix between an Italian dish with some tasty Cajun and creole flavors.

PINK SAUCE:

GREEN PEPPERS:

• In a separate pan, sweat 1 cut green pepper until soft, and then mix them into the sauce BEFORE adding the cream.

SHRIMP:

• Peel 1 lb of raw shrimp
• Dry them to remove excess water
• In a medium sized bowl, add 1 cup of coconut flour
• Mix 2 tbsp chili powder and 1 tbsp of cayenne powder. Feel free to use less if you prefer a less spicy heat
• Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to taste
• Mix all bowl ingredients and add the shrimp to coat all sides of the shrimp
• Sauté the shrimp on EVO for 1-2 minutes combined for both sides of the shrimp

Serve each plate on a bed of baby spinach and enjoy!
